Results in more efficient communication and better load balancing for cases with multiple regions in the same continuum

Improves performance and scalability for cases with multiple regions, especially those with either a large number of regions per continuum or those with a large region connected to a number of smaller regions (e.g. underhood simulations)

Checkpoint save of .sim file during batch run

Auto-save option that will automatically save the sim file when a “checkpoint” file is present in the working directory

Allows for saving in batch or interactively without having to stop running or connect an interactive server

Option to disable intersection process on interfaces

Allows for interfaces to be present for meshing purposes but treated as boundaries as physics

Intersection process will be disabled for all interfaces where the option is set
